Trap house

Finding out more....

Luke's pov
Yesterday was....I don't even know. I guess, at some point, I would've had to tell Alex anyway. I'm surprised Del hasn't asked about anything that was talked about yesterday. Everyone was still asleep when I walked into the kitchen. I started cooking breakfast. Now, my cooking isn't the greatest but it's the least I can do. I heard someone come downstairs in the kitchen.
"Hey Luke." It was Marcel.
"Hey, thank you for yesterday. Seriously," I said finishing up the sausage. I started cooking the bacon and pancakes. I used to make pancakes all the time for the girls when they were really little.
"You're welcome. Um did Alex tell you where she went yesterday before her and Brennen got food?"
"No, I was with Logan. I thought they just got food. Where was she?"
"Luke she had to go see Ty. Because and I quote 'If I don't go see her now, I can't promise that I won't kill myself tonight.' I figured you should know because I don't know if she's going to tell you or not."
"Shit, okay. I'll talk to her about it a little later." I finished up the pancakes and made everyone a plate. I grabbed two and went up to Logan's room. Her and Colby were still asleep, so I put them on her dresser. I went downstairs and grabbed two more before walking upstairs and into Alex's room. Brennen was still asleep and Alex was walking out of the bathroom. "Hey, angel. I made some breakfast for you."
"Thanks, Dad."
"You're welcome. So, I know it's early, why did you see Ty yesterday? Was it because of Logan?"
"No....I got too many flashbacks at once and I was already messing with my bracelets. I forgot to take my medicine yesterday..."
"Make sure you take it today. Please tell me these things. I worry about you, Alex."
"I know...I'm sorry Dad. Also what time is the appointment today?"
"It's at 3. Do you want me to go with you or do you want me to stay here?"
"Go with us."
"Okay. Be ready to leave by 2:30. I love you, angel."
"I love you too, Dad." I smiled and walked downstairs. Del was in the kitchen talking to Marcel. I walked over to Del.
"Good morning," I said pecking his cheek. He smiled.
"Morning, Luke."
"God it took you two long enough to get together," Marcel said laughing a bit. I rolled my eyes and loaded the dishwasher with dishes from yesterday. Alex walked into the kitchen and started taking her medicine.
"Hey, Alex," Jon said.
"Hi, Unclelirious."
"Alex, can you go wake your sister up? Mike will be here soon to get her."
"Yeah." She heads upstairs.
"Okay, when did she get more pills to take?" Marcel asked.
"While we were in LA. I can explain more later," I said.
"Okay. You better tell me everything."
"I will Marcel. I promise." Alex came back downstairs.
"Lo said she'll be down soon. I'm still hungry." She goes to the fridge and gets the jar of crofters and a spoon.
"What the hell?" Marcel asked.
"What?"
"Did you stop eating while you were in LA?" Marcel joked.
"No I got pregnant." I don't think Alex realized what she just said. I covered Marcel's mouth.
"Don't say a fucking word or I will snap you in half." He went over to Alex and hugged her.
"I'm gonna be an aunt!" he whispered.
"Yeah....I got to stop being blunt."
"Well, no. Just gotta remember who you're talking to, Alex," I said laughing. Logan came downstairs and went to the fridge.
"Dad, half of the time I don't remember what I did yesterday."
"We know," I joked.
"Dad, do I have to go?" Logan asked.
"Well, why don't we talk about what happened yesterday. You were out of it when you got home. What happened?"
"I was just super tired. I worked really hard because I want to get better, especially for Alex. I think the food I had before we started upset my stomach," she said in one breath.
"How do you feel now?" She thought for a minute before sighing.
"I feel fine."
"Do you really want to go today?" There was a knock on the door.
"I have no choice," she said with a small smile. Marcel opened the door and Mike was standing there.
"You ready, Logan?"
"One sec." Logan started taping her hands.
"You could've done that when we got there," Mike said chuckling. "She'll be home at 3 today. I have family matters," he said before walking with Logan to his car.
"Well, I won't be here at 3." Mike drove off, not listening to what I said.
"Rude." Brian walked in.
"Did that fucker pick up Logan?"
"Yeah. Just left."
"She gets home at 4 right?"
"3 today."
"Okay."
"Brian, do you mind waiting for her today? I have to go to an appointment with Alex."
"Sure."
"Thank you." I turned to Del and hugged him. He hugged me back. Brennen walked downstairs.
"Hey, baby girl," he said hugging Alex and kissing her forehead.
"Hey, B."
"Del, we need to talk. Alone," I said.
"Yeah." We walked into our room and I shut the door. I started pacing.
"What's wrong, Luke?"
"Alex is fucking pregnant and throwing up all the time. Logan has slipped into her old pattern again. She's back with Mike and didn't want to go this morning. She came home like a zombie last night. I don't know what to do. Alex is asking about the past and I told her a lot yesterday, but there's still so much more. I found out some shit that she never told me. I told her that Logan shot what's his face and she looked like a ghost. It's just nuts. I'm trying to be the best father and boyfriend I can and shit it's just so fucking hard."
"Luke, calm down. We'll get through this." I wrapped my as around his waist and kissed him. He kissed me back.
"I love you, Jon."
"I love you too, Luke." I took a deep breath.
"Thank you, babe."
"You're welcome. Now what was that you said about Alex telling you stuff that she hadn't told you?"
"When Logan was in the mental hospital, Alex was always alone. I had a babysitter that I paid to watch her and she didn't do her goddamn job. But someone broke in and Alex hid in the closet. She shot him, Del. She told the cops to not tell me because she thought I'd be mad, so I told her I was proud of her for defending herself. She broke down and asked if I knew it was that easy to kill someone and that's when it slipped that Logan has shot someone before. That's why she has night terrors."
"Oh wow. When are you going to tell her the rest?"
"Whenever she wants to know. I know Logan asked me not to, but Alex has the right to know."
"Yeah." My phone rang and I answered it. I stormed out my room and into the kitchen. I got off the phone and grabbed my keys.
"Alex, get ready for your appointment. Brian, hide everything sharp. Baby proof this house. Get Colby to help immediately. I have to go get Logan. I'll be back in about thirty minutes and then we'll head to your appointment. Del, come on." Alex nodded as she headed upstairs.
"Luke, what happened?"
"She tried to kill him, Del," I said walking out of the house.
"Oh god." We got in the car and sped off. I called Brian because I forgot to tell him something.
"Hello?"
"Brian, listen. Logan is not allowed in her room or anyone else's. She has to stay on the couch and she cannot be left alone for any reason. I don't care if she has to take a shit someone needs to stand in there with her. I hate leaving you with her, but I have no choice."
"Okay. I understand." I hung up and we pulled up to Mike's studio.
"Ready?" He nodded. We walked in and saw Logan in the back corner. She had scissors in her hand and her clothes were torn. Del and I ran over to her and I put my hand out to stop Del. I slowly walked towards Logan who was crying. "Logan?"
"I-I didn't d-do it," she said shaking.
"I know. I know you didn't do it. Just calm down okay. Then we'll go home."
"You don't know!" she screamed. I took a step back.
"What don't I know Logan? Tell me so I know." She stood up and grabbed my hand. She threw the scissors and they stuck in the padding on the wall. Del and I followed her behind the counter where Mike was cowering in fear. There wasn't a single scratch on him.
"What are you trying to tell me, Lo?"
She got in his face.
"Give me the keys."
"What keys? The only keys I have are the keys to this place and my car keys." He stood up. "Logan, you're not making much sense. I can help you if you let me." She grabbed him by his throat.
"Give me the fucking keys!" He gave her the keys. She dropped him and then kicked the fuck out of him. She grabbed my hand and took me to his office. She pulled his trunk away from the wall and there was a set of doors. She used the keys to unlock the doors. "Careful, Daddy," she said as she started to climb down. Del and I followed her.
"Logan what is this?" She started walking down the hallway to a room. She pointed at the plaque on the wall. It had her name. I started to read it.
'Available every day 10-4'
She unlocked the door and went inside.
"What the fuck is this place?"
"Isolation is what he calls it. Mike, puts me in here and lets me go insane. They take turns," she said tearing up. I felt tears in my eyes. She pointed to IV rack behind me and pulled up her sleeves. "Sleepy medicine. He dopes me up before he sends me home. I made myself throw up last night. I had to get it out of me. Well, the second time wasn't planned. He puts me in a state where I can't fight, has his clients take turns, and does me last. I have no choice but to let him," she said crying.
"Luke, we have to get home and get Alex to her appointment," Del said. I nodded and we started climbing back up the ladder to get into his office. Logan kept the keys.
"Hold on," Logan said sifting through Mike's files. She gave up and grabbed them all and we walked out.
"Logan, what are you doing with all of that? Why don't you go put those down and we can discuss why you're angry and then put it to use," Mike suggested.
"Yeah no. You stay the fuck over there we're leaving," I said. Logan handed Jon the files.
"Don't lose a single paper." She walked over to Mike and started beating the shit out of him. "Call the cops now motherfucker! Oh wait, I have every goddamn paper and your precious keys. Call them! Tell them I killed Walker! Do it you fucking prick!" I pulled her back. Mike was covered in blood. I got Logan into the car and Del followed behind with the stack of papers.
"I'm so sorry I ever made you go there," I said as I started driving back to the house.
"No, it's not your fault. I'll explain more later. I need to go through those papers. I know it's in there. I'm sorry, Dad."
"You don't need to apologize for anything," I said as I pulled into the driveway. We all got out and walked inside. Colby and Logan hugged.
"Gimme," Logan said pointing to the files in Del's hands.
"Alex! You ready?" Del handed her the files. Alex came downstairs with Brennen.
"Yeah."
"Brian, don't leave her alone right now. She's completely safe. I can explain later, but she knew what she was doing. We'll be back in a little bit," I said as we all walked out to the car. Alex picked up the aux cord and played 'Breaking Down.' by Iprevail. I drove to the doctor and we got out. I checked her in and we sat down, waiting for the doctor to call us in. Alex started bouncing her leg up and down. Brennen rested his hand on her thigh.
"It's gonna be okay, baby." I smiled to myself. He really does love her.
"Thanks, B."
"Patterson!" the nurse said peering around the corner.
"Do you want us to go in?"
"Um no. I'll be back." Alex got up and followed the nurse. I nodded and Brennen and I sat there.
